Each fall we coordinate our family calendars for a tradition we call “Apple Day” – a day spent with family traveling to an apple orchard to pick apples, eat apple doughnuts, and drink apple cider. This year, I decided to do a painting using some of the apples from our day. I spread them on a table next to my grandparents’ well-water bucket, which evokes fond childhood memories. The painting is a reminder of the importance to make the effort and take time to create special memories together.
